DAVID JORDAN: Hello, and
welcome back to recitation.

3
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:12,030
So today I want to practice
doing, computing some integrals

4
00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:13,280
with you at polar coordinates.

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,880
So we have these three
integrals set up here.

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,431
And the way the integrals
are given to you,

7
00:00:20,431 --> 00:00:22,430
they're given to you in
rectangular coordinates.

8
00:00:22,430 --> 00:00:23,805
So the first thing
you need to do

9
00:00:23,805 --> 00:00:27,850
is to re-express these
in polar coordinates.

10
00:00:27,850 --> 00:00:31,000
And so for the
first one, part a,

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,870
I want you to completely
compute the integral.

12
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:37,509
For part b and c, we
have this function f,

13
00:00:37,509 --> 00:00:38,800
which we haven't specified yet.

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,910
So the exercise is to
set up the integral.

15
00:00:40,910 --> 00:00:42,830
We won't actually
compute it, we'll

16
00:00:42,830 --> 00:00:44,490
just set it up completely.

17
00:00:44,490 --> 00:00:47,410
So rewrite it in
terms of r and theta.

18
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:50,370
So why don't you pause the
video and get started on that.

19
00:00:50,370 --> 00:00:52,620
And check back with me and
we'll work it out together.

20
00:00:52,620 --> 00:01:00,439


21
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:00,980
Welcome back.

22
00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:01,750
Let's get started.

23
00:01:01,750 --> 00:01:05,120


24
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,830
So for all of these, when we're
transferring from rectangular

25
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:13,310
to polar coordinates,
the most difficult part

26
00:01:13,310 --> 00:01:17,400
is understanding what region
we're integrating over.

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,560
And if we can understand
that, then the rest of it

28
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,340
is just straightforward
calculation.

29
00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:26,647
So in part a, let's try to
think about what this region is

30
00:01:26,647 --> 00:01:27,355
that we're given.

31
00:01:27,355 --> 00:01:32,580


32
00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:37,790
So we're given the region
from x equals 1 to x equals 2.

33
00:01:37,790 --> 00:01:45,110
So let's draw those lines.
x equals 1 and x equals 2.

34
00:01:45,110 --> 00:01:49,950
OK, so that's how x varies,
in between this band.

35
00:01:49,950 --> 00:01:54,350
And now the y varies
from 0 to the function x.

36
00:01:54,350 --> 00:01:56,630
So we'd better draw
the line y equals x.

37
00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:59,720


38
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,960
OK, so this is the
line y equals x.

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,110
And the region that we're
after is in between this band

40
00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:10,870
and in between these two lines,
so it's this region right here.

41
00:02:10,870 --> 00:02:13,760


42
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,590
That's the region that we want.

43
00:02:15,590 --> 00:02:16,270
All right.

44
00:02:16,270 --> 00:02:18,370
So now that we
have that, what we

45
00:02:18,370 --> 00:02:22,510
need to do to express something
in polar coordinates is

46
00:02:22,510 --> 00:02:30,360
we need to sweep out
rays of constant angle,

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,605
and then measure the
radius along the ray.

48
00:02:32,605 --> 00:02:33,980
So let's see what
I mean by that.

49
00:02:33,980 --> 00:02:38,570


50
00:02:38,570 --> 00:02:42,610
So we can kind of see that if
we're inside this region here,

51
00:02:42,610 --> 00:02:46,940
the smallest value that theta
can be is just theta equals 0.

52
00:02:46,940 --> 00:02:51,350
Because, for instance right here
is a point at theta equals 0.

53
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:53,920
And then theta runs
all the way up.

54
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:56,660
And this whole
line here is where

55
00:02:56,660 --> 00:02:59,990
theta reaches its maximum, and
that's at theta is pi over 4.

56
00:02:59,990 --> 00:03:04,050


57
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:07,370
So this tells us that it's
easiest to write the theta

58
00:03:07,370 --> 00:03:08,950
integral on the outside.

59
00:03:08,950 --> 00:03:16,690
And we're going to have theta
running from 0 to pi over 4.

60
00:03:16,690 --> 00:03:17,850
OK, very good.

61
00:03:17,850 --> 00:03:24,760
Now, in order to
get the r ranges,

62
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,510
it's going to be a
little bit more subtle,

63
00:03:26,510 --> 00:03:29,360
because what we need to do is
we need to fix some arbitrary

64
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,970
theta in the middle here.

65
00:03:30,970 --> 00:03:34,185
So I'll just draw kind of
a representative theta.

66
00:03:34,185 --> 00:03:36,330
It would be like this one here.

67
00:03:36,330 --> 00:03:38,910


68
00:03:38,910 --> 00:03:40,580
So there is a
representative theta.

69
00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:48,370
And what we need
to do is, we need

70
00:03:48,370 --> 00:03:51,970
to describe how r varies
along this pink line here.

71
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:55,500
So that's the line
that we really want.

72
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:56,470
OK.

73
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:58,620
So in order to do
that, we just need

74
00:03:58,620 --> 00:04:02,300
to do some simple
trigonometry now.

75
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:03,000
So let's see.

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,260
So r turns on at
this line right here.

77
00:04:06,260 --> 00:04:09,070
At the line x equals 1;
that's where r turns on.

78
00:04:09,070 --> 00:04:14,101
So let's see what the value
of r is at that line here.

79
00:04:14,101 --> 00:04:17,045
So, the point is
that we have-- so

80
00:04:17,045 --> 00:04:18,560
let me draw this triangle here.

81
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,210


82
00:04:21,210 --> 00:04:22,730
Let me blow this triangle up.

83
00:04:22,730 --> 00:04:30,850


84
00:04:30,850 --> 00:04:31,870
OK.

85
00:04:31,870 --> 00:04:40,610
So this is our line x equals 1,
and this is this triangle here.

86
00:04:40,610 --> 00:04:43,310
We just put a
magnifying glass on it.

87
00:04:43,310 --> 00:04:46,736
So we have this angle theta.

88
00:04:46,736 --> 00:04:47,235
OK.

89
00:04:47,235 --> 00:04:50,770


90
00:04:50,770 --> 00:04:56,000
So this x-value is 1, because
we're on the line x equals 1.

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,260
So the length of this leg is 1,
and this is r that we're after.

92
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:02,760
OK?

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:08,230
So in basic trigonometry
we know that cos theta is

94
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:14,400
equal to-- so cosine is
adjacent over hypotenuse--

95
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,560
is equal to 1 over r.

96
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,260
OK, so that tells us that
r is equal to sec theta.

97
00:05:23,260 --> 00:05:24,020
OK?

98
00:05:24,020 --> 00:05:26,940
So what that means is that
this, for any given theta,

99
00:05:26,940 --> 00:05:30,940
this pink band turns on at
precisely r equals sec theta.

100
00:05:30,940 --> 00:05:33,620
And so that's what we need
to write in the bottom here.

101
00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:36,560


102
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,470
OK?

103
00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:43,670
Now, you can see that it turns
off at r equals 2 sec theta.

104
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:46,470


105
00:05:46,470 --> 00:05:49,570
Because now, instead
of going over length 1,

106
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:51,110
we go over length 2.

107
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:56,270
And so our integral becomes the
integral from 0 to pi over 4.

108
00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:59,540
And r equals sec
theta to 2 sec theta.

109
00:05:59,540 --> 00:06:03,220
OK, and now we
need to re-express

110
00:06:03,220 --> 00:06:06,180
our original function
in terms of r and theta.

111
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:09,800
So our original
function was-- so let's

112
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,580
go back over to
the formula here.

113
00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:18,310
So we have x squared plus
y squared to the 3/2.

114
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:21,650
So x squared plus y squared
to the 1/2, that's r.

115
00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:24,500
And so x squared plus y squared
to the 3/2, that's r cubed.

116
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:26,360
So this is 1 over r cubed.

117
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,270
So this is 1 over
r cubed in here.

118
00:06:31,270 --> 00:06:34,600
And as we know, dy dx
becomes r dr d theta.

119
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,760


120
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,480
OK.

121
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,340
So this is the integral
that we need to compute,

122
00:06:42,340 --> 00:06:44,074
and now that we've
done all the geometry,

123
00:06:44,074 --> 00:06:45,990
this is going to be a
straightforward integral

124
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:46,490
to compute.

125
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:47,510
So let's do it together.

126
00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:50,580


127
00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:52,265
I'll just rewrite it over here.

128
00:06:52,265 --> 00:06:56,390
So we have theta running
from 0 to pi over 4,

129
00:06:56,390 --> 00:07:03,360
and r running from sec
theta to 2 sec theta.

130
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,710
And we have 1 over r
squared, dr d theta.

131
00:07:09,710 --> 00:07:10,770
OK.

132
00:07:10,770 --> 00:07:21,030
So that equals-- taking
the inside integral first,

133
00:07:21,030 --> 00:07:29,030
we get negative 1 over r from
2 sec theta to sec theta.

134
00:07:29,030 --> 00:07:32,940


135
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:33,900
OK?

136
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:37,090
And now this is nice,
because sec theta--

137
00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:39,890
if we plug it in for 1 over r--
it's just going to turn back

138
00:07:39,890 --> 00:07:41,350
into a cosine, right?

139
00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:45,680
So this is just the
integral from theta

140
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,820
equals 0 to pi over 4.

141
00:07:48,820 --> 00:07:50,570
OK, because we have
this minus sign here,

142
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:56,830
we're going to get cos theta
minus-- 1 over 2 sec theta

143
00:07:56,830 --> 00:08:05,430
becomes 1/2 cos theta-- d theta.

144
00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:13,750
And this we can compute to be
the square root of 2 over 4.

145
00:08:13,750 --> 00:08:17,105
So this is an elementary
integral that we can compute:

146
00:08:17,105 --> 00:08:19,580
the square root of 2 over 4.

147
00:08:19,580 --> 00:08:20,640
OK.

148
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,240
And that's it.

149
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,281
That's all there is to a.

150
00:08:22,281 --> 00:08:26,970
So notice that the difficult
part is figuring out

151
00:08:26,970 --> 00:08:30,460
how the boundary curves of
your original region re-express

152
00:08:30,460 --> 00:08:32,010
in the r and theta coordinates.

153
00:08:32,010 --> 00:08:36,110
So let's see if we can get more
practice with that on parts b

154
00:08:36,110 --> 00:08:36,610
and c.

155
00:08:36,610 --> 00:08:39,670


156
00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:42,170
So in part b-- let
me just recall--

157
00:08:42,170 --> 00:08:47,006
we're taking the
integral x equals 0 to 1.

158
00:08:47,006 --> 00:08:53,850
And y equals x
squared to x, f dy dx.

159
00:08:53,850 --> 00:08:55,670
So let's draw this region again.

160
00:08:55,670 --> 00:09:00,320


161
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:07,530
So the bottom curve is y equals
x squared and the top curve is

162
00:09:07,530 --> 00:09:12,430
y equals x, and x
runs from 0 to 1.

163
00:09:12,430 --> 00:09:16,090
So this is the region
that we're after.

164
00:09:16,090 --> 00:09:16,790
OK.

165
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:19,170
So once again in this
case, it's pretty easy

166
00:09:19,170 --> 00:09:22,980
to figure out the
range for theta.

167
00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:25,180
Because you see
this parabola here,

168
00:09:25,180 --> 00:09:27,980
as it approaches the
origin, it becomes flat.

169
00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:32,910
So the theta, as we get closer
and closer to the origin, is 0.

170
00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:39,800
So the initial bound
for theta is 0.

171
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,420
It doesn't matter that we have
this curve here, it's still 0.

172
00:09:42,420 --> 00:09:44,850
And then the top bound,
again, is pi over 4.

173
00:09:44,850 --> 00:09:47,640


174
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,040
OK?

175
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:55,640
Now, for this curve, y equals
x squared, what we just

176
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,430
have to do is we
just have to use

177
00:09:59,430 --> 00:10:02,860
our polar change of coordinates
and re-express this curve.

178
00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:07,860
So y equals x squared.

179
00:10:07,860 --> 00:10:11,130
Well, y is r sine theta.

180
00:10:11,130 --> 00:10:14,510


181
00:10:14,510 --> 00:10:16,870
And x is r cos theta.

182
00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:23,330
So this is altogether r
squared cos squared theta.

183
00:10:23,330 --> 00:10:24,020
OK?

184
00:10:24,020 --> 00:10:27,380
And now all we need to do
is just solve for r here.

185
00:10:27,380 --> 00:10:32,360
So we get r equals-- so I can
cancel that r with that one--

186
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:39,890
and it looks to me like we
get r equals tan theta secant

187
00:10:39,890 --> 00:10:42,030
theta by solving.

188
00:10:42,030 --> 00:10:43,980
OK.

189
00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:49,000
So that's the r-value at each
of these points along the curve.

190
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,050
So that is going to
be our top bound.

191
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:55,710
So if we draw little
segments of constant theta,

192
00:10:55,710 --> 00:10:58,820
they all start at r
equals 0, because we

193
00:10:58,820 --> 00:11:01,510
have this sharp point
here at the origin.

194
00:11:01,510 --> 00:11:07,140
And they all stop at this curve:
r equals tan theta sec theta.

195
00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:18,550


196
00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:19,580
All right?

197
00:11:19,580 --> 00:11:24,160
And so now f we're just
going to leave put.

198
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,960
And then finally we
have r dr d theta.

199
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:34,450


200
00:11:34,450 --> 00:11:34,950
OK.

201
00:11:34,950 --> 00:11:37,870
So that's our answer to b.

202
00:11:37,870 --> 00:11:38,370
All right.

203
00:11:38,370 --> 00:11:42,060


204
00:11:42,060 --> 00:11:46,460
Now c is going to be
a little bit tricky.

205
00:11:46,460 --> 00:11:49,270
What's tricky about c
is drawing a picture,

206
00:11:49,270 --> 00:11:53,590
but we'll see what
we can do about that.

207
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:59,070
So let me just remind
you. y ranges from 0 to 2,

208
00:11:59,070 --> 00:12:05,760
and x ranges from 0
to the square root

209
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,730
of 2y minus y squared.

210
00:12:08,730 --> 00:12:13,060


211
00:12:13,060 --> 00:12:18,740
And then we have f dx dy.

212
00:12:18,740 --> 00:12:21,130
OK.

213
00:12:21,130 --> 00:12:24,170
Well, the y bounds are pretty
straightforward, 0 to 2.

214
00:12:24,170 --> 00:12:26,887
This function, when
I first saw this,

215
00:12:26,887 --> 00:12:28,720
I didn't recognize this
function right away.

216
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,750
So let's see what we can
make out of this curve.

217
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:33,940


218
00:12:33,940 --> 00:12:39,580
So the top curve
for x is going to be

219
00:12:39,580 --> 00:12:46,490
x equals the square root
of 2y minus y squared.

220
00:12:46,490 --> 00:12:53,987
And this looks like it wants
to be the equation of a circle.

221
00:12:53,987 --> 00:12:56,570
So let's see if we can turn this
into an equation of a circle.

222
00:12:56,570 --> 00:13:00,100
So if we square both
sides of this equation,

223
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:11,260
then we get x squared
equals 2y minus y squared.

224
00:13:11,260 --> 00:13:15,990
And now this over
here, 2y minus y

225
00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:19,810
squared, so if we add this
over to the other side,

226
00:13:19,810 --> 00:13:28,610
we have x squared plus y
squared minus 2y equals 0.

227
00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:32,900
And now the thing that I notice
about this expression here

228
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:37,530
is it really looks almost like
the quantity y minus 1 squared.

229
00:13:37,530 --> 00:13:38,030
Yeah?

230
00:13:38,030 --> 00:13:41,680
If there were a plus 1 here,
then that would be the case.

231
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:49,190
So this is actually x
squared, plus y minus 1

232
00:13:49,190 --> 00:13:53,100
squared-- except the
left-hand side is not

233
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:56,190
quite equal to that, it's
equal to that, minus 1.

234
00:13:56,190 --> 00:13:59,150
So this equation just equals 0.

235
00:13:59,150 --> 00:14:02,020
So this equation is just
equivalent to that one.

236
00:14:02,020 --> 00:14:04,624
And that's good
news, because this

237
00:14:04,624 --> 00:14:06,290
says that, this is
the equation if I add

238
00:14:06,290 --> 00:14:10,760
this 1 over to the other
side-- let me go over here--

239
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:19,570
we have x squared, plus y
minus 1 squared, equals 1.

240
00:14:19,570 --> 00:14:21,270
And this, we know what this is.

241
00:14:21,270 --> 00:14:25,650


242
00:14:25,650 --> 00:14:28,310
This is a circle which is
centered not at the origin,

243
00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:33,370
but at the point 0 comma
1 in the y-direction.

244
00:14:33,370 --> 00:14:46,990
So if we draw this, well,
this is the equation

245
00:14:46,990 --> 00:14:50,420
for the entire circle.

246
00:14:50,420 --> 00:14:53,720
But we only want
the positive half,

247
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,530
because we were told
that x starts at 0

248
00:14:56,530 --> 00:14:58,280
and goes up to this
positive number.

249
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,730
So we only want the
positive half here.

250
00:15:00,730 --> 00:15:03,390
OK.

251
00:15:03,390 --> 00:15:05,290
So this is the region
that we're integrating.

252
00:15:05,290 --> 00:15:07,880
And now that we know
this, we can again

253
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,300
figure out the values of
theta and the values of r.

254
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:13,090


255
00:15:13,090 --> 00:15:19,250
So first of all, theta
is going to range again

256
00:15:19,250 --> 00:15:22,520
from 0, because
this bottom curve,

257
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,060
as it comes into the
origin, it comes in flat.

258
00:15:25,060 --> 00:15:28,380
So we have points of
arbitrarily small angles.

259
00:15:28,380 --> 00:15:31,150
So theta is going to
start a 0, and theta

260
00:15:31,150 --> 00:15:34,831
is going to go all the
way up until pi over 2,

261
00:15:34,831 --> 00:15:36,580
because theta can be
pointing straight up.

262
00:15:36,580 --> 00:15:39,630


263
00:15:39,630 --> 00:15:40,210
OK?

264
00:15:40,210 --> 00:15:51,790
And now we have to think about
these lines of constant angle,

265
00:15:51,790 --> 00:15:55,960
and we need to think about
what r does in there.

266
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:02,300
So we can see from the picture
that r always starts at 0

267
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:04,280
and it stops at this curve.

268
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,740
So we need to figure out
what the r-value is along

269
00:16:07,740 --> 00:16:10,440
this curve in terms of theta.

270
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,660
So what we want to do
is use the equation.

271
00:16:15,660 --> 00:16:16,720
So we had it over here.

272
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:25,380
So x squared plus y
squared minus 2y equals 0.

273
00:16:25,380 --> 00:16:27,720
So that was one of the
equivalent equations

274
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,420
that we got for our curve.

275
00:16:29,420 --> 00:16:33,040
And now this is nice, because
this here is just r squared,

276
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:33,935
isn't it?

277
00:16:33,935 --> 00:16:36,630
So this is r squared.

278
00:16:36,630 --> 00:16:42,190
And this is minus 2y,
and y is r sine theta.

279
00:16:42,190 --> 00:16:46,360


280
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,040
OK.

281
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,410
So we get r squared minus
2r sine theta equals 0.

282
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:55,610
Solving this for r, we get
that r is just 2 sine theta.

283
00:16:55,610 --> 00:16:59,041


284
00:16:59,041 --> 00:16:59,540
OK.

285
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:04,420


286
00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:06,310
So r equals 2 sine theta.

287
00:17:06,310 --> 00:17:09,060
That is the equation in r,
theta coordinates, which

288
00:17:09,060 --> 00:17:11,550
describes this semicircle here.

289
00:17:11,550 --> 00:17:15,360
And so altogether,
we get the range

290
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:22,580
is from r equals 0 to
r equals 2 sine theta.

291
00:17:22,580 --> 00:17:30,716
And f just comes along for the
ride, and we have r dr d theta.

292
00:17:30,716 --> 00:17:32,553
And I'll leave it at that.

293
00:17:32,553 --> 00:17:33,053
